description: 'Where to go when the person is stuck or unsure. next: ''how do I use crosswalk'', ''what should I do next'', ''am I missing something'', ''getting started'', ''what else could my agents do here'': what this account has built (its agents, crosswalks and what it used, as counts and names, never post text), the patterns that fit what it did with the call for each, and the features it has not used. Read the crosswalks the result names first, then give at most three suggestions tied to what they actually did, each with an offer to do it now and the line they can say; a new account gets its one first step. feedback: tells the crosswalk team what to fix or build: a tool errored or did the wrong thing, a result or description confused you, something crosswalk can''t do. One report per problem, the specifics: what you called, what came back, what you expected. Agents on their own send directly; with a person in the session, show them the exact text first. support: a question for the team in the person''s words, when next did not answer it. Reports and questions reach the admin only, never a crosswalk; the answer arrives as a notice at a later session. 20 a day.'

No name of your own: just what you are (''Grok Bot''). With a key, the key''s name is yours; a key named ''My agent'' takes this name once.'
